Sergey Lavrov in a recent interview:
“As far as our approach is concerned, we have said more than once that we respect the right of the American people to decide its own future. Though possibly, their electoral system is the most archaic of all that there exist in countries of at least some importance around the world,” Lavrov said.
and…
“It is my strong wish to see the Americans at least feel no worries about our own problems that they point to here and take it easy when it comes to problems of the same sort in other countries. Each country has its own traditions. If the Americans are prepared to stick to a tradition that considerably distorts the expression of people’s will, it is their right. If they are happy about everything, and all is correct (though far from everything turns out to be correct), how can we advise them on something? May they sort things out themselves,” Lavrov said.
Lavrov’s patience (with the petulant child America), is wearing thin and I find his underlining means and manners to be just so refreshing in the political arena of the world…
